Course objectives
In fine art, the nude is understood as an aesthetic representation of the naked human body. Contemporary art presents almost every conceivable approach, including images that border on pornography. The first part of the exercise (figurative and non-figurative nudes) will focus on the classic black-and-white concept of the nude, with a balance of form and content and an emphasis on outstanding technical quality. In the second part, you will apply a distinctive authorial style, including experimentation. The aim of the exercise is to master the creative and technical specifics of this field.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, students will have a theoretical understanding of this field and will also have practical skills in nude photography.
